Beetroot rice recipe

0 ratings

Try using beetroot as a delicious, colourful alternative to rice in this filling yet carb-free salad recipe. Blitzing the beetroot into a fine grain gives a texture similar to rice or couscous, and makes the perfect base for punchy flavours. Try serving with a lightly-spiced orange dressing, fresh parsley and creamy goat’s cheese. See method
